Check out this beauty. What do you think about it?
The prices people are charging for this controller are absolutely ridiculous.

It’s so annoying that they didn’t make enough. Scalpers are taking advantage and selling it for crazy prices.

Sony really missed out. Why make it so limited? They could sell tons if they just released more.

Nintendo fans like me are laughing at this. Happens all the time.

Sometimes I think companies purposely make ‘prestige items’ to create demand.
@Jesse
Exactly. They probably have a whole strategy behind keeping this one rare and tied to nostalgia.

Sony’s too busy focusing on pushing their subscription services. Making stuff people actually want is old news.

It’s about the stock price. Products that sell out fast make investors happy, even if regular customers are frustrated.

Classic artificial scarcity. LEGO does this too.

With LEGO, it’s more about sets going out of production over time, not an intentionally limited supply. But yeah, once they’re gone, you’re stuck with resellers.
@Nuri
If it came in a basic color, I’d have bought one too.
@Nuri
I somehow managed to pre-order one from Amazon. Got a small discount too! Box is a bit scratched, but the controller is perfect.

“We love your frustration. Happy 30th anniversary!” – Sony, probably

Scalpers ruin everything. Sony should’ve handled this better.

If you’re after a great controller, the DualSense Edge is amazing. Better than anything I’ve used before.
@Zion
It’s great, but two hundred bucks is steep! Those back buttons are a game changer though.
@Zion
The Edge is awesome until you get drift or the battery dies after 90 minutes. It’s also super heavy.

Yeah, it’s a beast to hold for long sessions.
@Zion
Didn’t they release the Edge in this color too?
